Last year a party of representatives of the Pacific coast chambers visited Jap».n and were entertained lavishly, the government spending $2ri0,000 and showing the visitors the best in Japan's art and industry and social life. These Americans returned convinced that the Japanese who buy $200,000,000 worth of manufactured goods each year from Europe would much rather trade with the United States if the transfer could be made. Hence they attach vast im portance to the Japanese tour. A fur ther testimony of the good will of the Japanese government is seen in the fine exhibit it is sending to the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific exposition.

BAILEY REPORTER AND SENATOR FIGHT BAILEY OF TEXAS ATTACKS NEWSPAPER MAN Friends Interfere and Prevent What Promised to Be Serious Alterca. tion at Adjournment of Day's Session [By Associated Press 1 WASHINGTON, May Senator Bailey of Texas and W. S. Manning, representative of the New York Times in the senate press gallery, exchanged blows just as the senate adjourned to day, as a result of a conversation they had on an article printed by the New Yoik newspaper questioning the sincer ity of the senator In his course on the Income tax. Neither was injured, as they were separated by Senator Clapp, Porto Ri can Commissioner Larringa, a number 01 senate employes and several news paper correspondents. Mr. Bailey made a bitter attack in the senate upon the author of an arti . I in the New York Times charging that Senator Bailey had played into the sands ol' Senator Aldrich by his course ii. demanding an immediate vote on the income tax amendment, and thus had caused a split of the forces supporting such an amendment. • Mr. Manning accosted Mr. Bailey af ter adjournment to inform him that he was Inaccurate in suggesting Hepubli ■ an senators as a possible source of In- B] [ration for the article. Mr. Bailey asked who had written the article, and'at the same time declaring, it is said, that the man who had writ ten it was a "liar." The senator's lan guage was very emphatic, and Mr. Manning responded that he "had not had the honor to write the story." Mr. Bailey said ttie word "honor" was emphasized in a manner, intended to be offensive. In Front of Elevator The two men were directly in front of the door leading to the finance com mittee room and also in front of one of the priva le elevators. Several persons heard the word "liar" proclaimed in a loud voice, and they saw Mr. Bailey and Mr. Manning clinch. The latter alleges that Mr. Bailey hit him first. In the mixup Mr. Manning struck the senator with his umbrella, knocking- off his hat, and the senator giabbcd Mr. Manning by the throat. Just at that moment the elevator stopped at the senate door, and Senator Clapp and Mr. Larringa stepped out. Without waiting to learn the cause of the disturbance, Mr. Clapp threw his arms around Senator Bailey, who at the time seemed to lie in a position to do serious injury to the correspondent, a young man of very slight build. The Texan struggled desperately to break from his restraint, hut Senator Clapp tightened his hold and the news paper correspondents rushed Mr. Man ning away and insisted on his leaving the corridor. Mr. Bailey's speech in regard to the article was one of the most scathing arraignments of a newspaper corre spondent that has ever taken place in the senate. The senator not only asserted that the writer of the article was an "in famous liar." but that.he was a "mis erable creature, unfit to associate with holiest men."
